122: Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two: Admitting Defeat 122: Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two: Admitting Defeat “Don’t leave just yet!

We still have a score to settle!” Chen Yang grabbed Fu Deyou and said.

Fu Deyou turned around, his voice tinged with anger, “Compensation is unnecessary, what more do you want?”

Chen Yang scoffed, “I treated your people, but your guys poisoned Uncle Niu’s fish.

Isn’t it time we talk about compensation for that?”

Huh?

Fu Deyou was stunned at the moment, then involuntarily glanced over at the pond.

Sure enough, all the fish in the pond were floating on the surface, emitting a faint stench.

“Chen Yang, don’t push people too far!

The people from your Liuhu Village injured our villagers, and we didn’t ask for compensation, yet you turn it around and demand compensation from us?” Fu Deyou was furious, and if he could have beaten Chen Yang, he might have chosen to settle this with his fists.

“Village Chief Fu, you are wrong there, one thing at a time!

Injuring people is one thing, the fish pond is another, why can’t we demand compensation?” Chen Yang asked coldly.

Chen Yang’s words enlightened the villagers of Liuhu Village.

“Yeah!

Fu Deyou, don’t think you can weasel out of this!

We cured your people, now if you can, save all the fish!”

The villagers of Liuhu Village were roused, pointing fingers at Fu Deyou and reproaching him collectively.

Fu Deyou was infuriated to his limits.

“Chen Yang, really, don’t go too far!

My brother has connections!

If you offend me to death, you’ll regret it!” Fu Deyou threatened through gritted teeth.

This tactic was usually very effective on most people.

But Chen Yang, who had even offended people like Heipi, was he afraid of Fu Deyou?

“I’m someone who avoids trouble, but I’m not afraid of it!

Today, you must give me an explanation,” Chen Yang said resolutely, his face calm and fearless as he pointed at the pond, pronouncing each word distinctly.

Seeing such a tough side of Chen Yang shocked the onlooking villagers of Liuhu Village.

“Well done, Chen Yang!”

Wang Hong, amongst the crowd, couldn’t help but raise her thumb.

“What if I refuse to compensate!” Fu Deyou’s expression started to become fierce!

“Refuse to compensate?

Then it’s easy, I’ll just break his arm again and we’ll be even!” Chen Yang pointed casually at the injured man from before.

Seeing Chen Yang’s threat to break his arm again, the injured man instantly panicked.

He looked at Fu Deyou with pleading eyes, begging for mercy.

Fu Deyou was seething with hatred, yet helpless against Chen Yang.

To avoid losing more face, he could only continue to stubbornly resist.

“Then you’ve got the guts, just go ahead and break his arm!

There’s no way we’re paying compensation,” Fu Deyou said angrily.

“What?”

The injured man’s face was a picture of confusion.

Realizing what was said, he turned to Fu Deyou with an angry retort, “Village Chief, you can’t do this to people!

To vent your anger, my arm was already broken once, and I absolutely can’t endure it a second time!”

After saying this, the man ran off, unwilling to stay any longer.

He was terrified that Chen Yang might truly break his arm again.

The man’s words before his departure caused an uproar among those present.

As it turned out, it wasn’t Uncle Niu who had broken the man’s arm; it was Fu Deyou who took the opportunity to extort money and took advantage of the situation to bully Liuhu Village by breaking the man’s arm.

“Fu Deyou, oh Fu Deyou, you’re a village chief, how could you do such despicable things?”

“Resorting to extortion like this, you’re bringing shame to the whole of Shangshan Village!”

The village women from Liuhu Village couldn’t help but speak up and jeer.

Fu Deyou and the able-bodied men of Shangshan Village looked extremely embarrassed.

It was truly a loss of face.

“I knew something was off, so it was you who broke the man’s arm!

Well, that complicates things,” said Chen Yang with a cold smile, “Now, not only do you owe Uncle Niu compensation, but you also need to pay the medical fees!”

Chen Yang took a step forward, his cold expression quite frightening.

Although Fu Deyou was close to exploding with rage, he dared not lay a hand on Chen Yang.

And now that his scheming had been exposed, from any perspective, he had no grounds to argue further.

“You!

What do you want from me as compensation?” Fu Deyou gritted his teeth, preparing to swallow this bitter pill.

Because he knew that if he didn’t compensate, he definitely wouldn’t be able to leave today.

“Not much, just fifty thousand!

Thirty thousand for medical treatment, and twenty thousand for the fishpond expenses,” Chen Yang said.

“Fifty thousand?

Isn’t this robbery?

You’re just moving your hands and sticking needles, what gives you the right to charge thirty thousand for treatment!” Fu Deyou almost popped his eyes out when he heard the compensation amount.

After finishing talking about Chen Yang’s treatment cost, he immediately pointed at Uncle Niu’s fishpond and said, “The fish in this pond, if sold on the market, probably wouldn’t fetch a few thousand yuan, why should I compensate twenty thousand?”

Fu Deyou’s face was filled with fury, preparing to swallow this dumb loss, which was nearly the limit of what he could tolerate.

Who would have thought that Chen Yang would hit him with another heavy blow?

He couldn’t bear it anymore.

Fifty thousand yuan!

For the villagers near Liuhé Village, that was a significant fortune already.

“Heh.” Chen Yang sneered and said, “When you wanted Uncle Niu to pay fifty thousand, why didn’t you think like this?

Is it expensive when I ask you for fifty thousand?”

“I…” Fu Deyou was at a loss for words, not knowing how to retort to Chen Yang.

After holding it in for a good while, he said, “That was a series of expenses accumulated to fifty thousand!

The fifty thousand you’re asking for is sheer extortion!”

“Mayor Fu, you’re wrong to say that.

Chen Yang’s treatment technique is so sophisticated; outside, a single treatment worth thirty thousand isn’t expensive at all,” Wu Kexin interjected at this moment.

“And regarding Uncle Niu’s incident, even if the fish in the pond aren’t worth that much money, the pond’s water quality has been contaminated, which means Uncle Niu will have to spend a lot of effort and time to deal with it.”

“Charging you twenty thousand, I don’t find it expensive at all; I even feel like it’s letting you off cheap,” Wu Kexin said nonchalantly.

“Right!

The mayor speaks the truth; our Yang Zi’s medical skills are definitely worth thirty thousand.”

“Fifty thousand isn’t expensive at all, pay up quickly.”

After Wu Kexin had spoken, the group of aunties immediately echoed in support, urging Fu Deyou to compensate.

Against the united voices of the crowd, Fu Deyou naturally couldn’t prevail.

His face turned livid with anger!

“Fine!

You’re ruthless!

I’ll pay the fifty thousand!” Eventually, Fu Deyou gave in.

After sending someone to retrieve the fifty thousand yuan and handing it over to Chen Yang, he left with his subordinates, tail between his legs.

“Fu Deyou!

You better think twice before pulling stunts like this in the future!”

“Now beat it back to your place and don’t come looking for trouble in Liuhé Village again.”

Seeing Fu Deyou fail in his extortion and instead end up paying fifty thousand, the people of Liuhé Village were overjoyed.

They all felt that Chen Yang had really honored their village!

Their comfort was indescribable.

Chen Yang, holding the fifty thousand, took out twenty thousand and handed it to Uncle Niu, “Uncle Niu, this is the compensation from Fu Deyou.”

Uncle Niu already couldn’t thank Chen Yang enough, and now seeing Chen Yang had recovered the damages to his fishpond, he was so moved he nearly knelt down to Chen Yang.

“Young Yang, I really can’t thank you enough.

If it weren’t for you, Uncle Niu would surely have been completely swindled by Fu Deyou today,” Uncle Niu said shakily, accepting the twenty thousand.

Seeing the emotionally charged Uncle Niu, Chen Yang comforted, “Uncle Niu, we’re all from the same village; it’s what I should do.

If our folks are wronged and I don’t step up, am I still a man?”

“Yang Zi!

Well done!

You’re truly the pride of our village!”

“That’s so true!

And Yang Zi, you’re really bold!”

The words of Chen Yang once again sparked a round of unanimous praise on site.

The village mostly consisted of orphans and widows; whenever they encountered minor frictions with neighboring villages, they almost always chose to endure it in silence.

But now, with Chen Yang’s words and the recent events.

They unconsciously straightened their backs with pride.

If anyone bullied them in the future, they knew someone had their backs.

“Sister, Chen Yang is really cool!” Yang Ruoxi exclaimed, admiring Chen Yang who was being surrounded and praised by the aunties, while standing not too far away.

Li Han felt the same way inside, but when she heard Yang Ruoxi voice it outright, she couldn’t help but be startled.

This Yang Ruoxi, could she have fallen for Chen Yang?
